Hello all,
The Global Advocacy team is looking for your input. We are hosting a series of community conversations https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Policy_Community_Conversations#Questions_to_Considerin May to learn how the Human Rights Policy can best support Wikimedians like you.
Given the diverse regional spread and country-context of members in this email group, we hope you can share how community members' human rights have been challenged and how the Foundation can better support individuals and prevent such situations. Details for the call:
- Thursday, May 12 - 19:00 (Abuja, Nigeria), 18:00 (UTC) - Register via Zoom: https://wikimedia.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0qdu6gqTgoHNFiFumYTD3H-HET8Fe7_...
What is the outcome of these sessions? We will do two things with the information that is shared via these conversations and smaller focus groups. (1) We will share a summary of our findings by publishing them on Meta, in a Diff blog, and (hopefully!) presenting them at Wikimania. (2) Feedback and recommendations will shape the implementation process of the Human Rights Policy.
Where can you learn more about these calls and the Human Rights Policy? You can learn more about the conversion format, call schedule, types of questions that will guide the conversation, as well as the Human Rights Policy on this meta page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Human_Rights_Policy_Community_Conversations#Questions_to_Consider .
What if you can’t join any of these conversations? If you are interested but cannot attend the calls you can still share your experiences via a survey that will soon be available.
We hope to see you there,
Ziski from the GA Team
